Drug addiction is a medical disease affecting the nerve center in the brain and spinal cord. Its effects, however, extend well beyond the physical, affecting an individual's ability to function at work, at home with family members and in society at large. Extended drug use leads to physical dependence upon that substance and alters the individual's ability to make choices beyond the prioritization of getting more of the drug. To the detriment of family finances and the well being of others, the addict or alcoholic makes devastating choices with one goal in mind: subsidizing their drug use.
There are a number of drug addiction treatment facilities in the world, most diverse in their treatment philosophy. At Orchid Recovery Center, we believe that the best drug addiction treatment is the one that treats the woman as a whole, taking into account what research has taught us about the unique nature of female drug use, the reasons they start using in the first place and their risks for relapse after leaving drug rehab.
By treating the whole person, we at Orchid Recovery Center believe that the women who undergo treatment at our facility have a higher chance for a successful life without drugs when they go home. The mental and spiritual aspects of addiction are treated at Orchid Recovery with just as much emphasis as the physical aspect through a variety of services that include:
There are a number of available treatment facilities including outpatient treatment, agonist maintenance clinics, residential treatment and more. At Orchid Recovery Center, we believe that intensive residential treatment is the best way to overcome physical addiction and build the tools and relationships that will carry you through a lifetime of sobriety. Without the space away from pressures at home and work, addicts and alcoholics find it difficult to get their bearings in abstinence. Located in beautiful Palm Beach, Florida, Orchid Recovery Center gives patients a chance to relax while they recuperate and heal in more ways than one.
